Washington have each two districts.
Monroe, Oneida, Onondaga, Rensselaer, St. Lawrence, Ulster, and Westchester have each three districts. Albany has four districts. Erie has five districts. Kings has twelve districts. New York has twenty-four districts, or nearly one-fifth of the entire Assembly. In all, there are one hundred and twenty-eight assembly districts, each electing one member of the assembly. Q. What must be done in those counties that are entitled to two or more members? A. The "boards of supervisors" of such counties, except the city and county of New York, must divide their respective counties into Assembly districts; the number of districts being equal to the number of members heretofore apportioned by the Legislature to these several counties; the territory must be contiguous, and no town can be divided in the formation of districts. Q. By whom is the city and county of New York divided into districts? |
